Our Mission
What is Net Zero?
Mission Net Zero is a movement or a goal aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions to a level where they are balanced by removals, leading to net zero emissions. It is a critical step towards mitigating the impacts of climate change. Understanding the science behind Mission Net Zero is of prime importance. The benefits of transitioning to a net-zero economy, including improved air quality, energy security, and job creation are limitless.
All the governments, businesses, and individuals need to participate collectively in achieving Mission Net Zero and support the policies and technologies that can help. There are numerous challenges and obstacles in reaching net-zero emissions. They can be overcome by participating together. Various countries, cities, and companies have been making progress and initiatives being taken by towards achieving net-zero emissions.
The impact of Mission Net Zero on different sectors such as transportation, agriculture, and energy production is huge. The interlinkages between Mission Net Zero and sustainable development goals, such as poverty reduction and sustainable economic growth has been established, but yet to be fully realized.

Goal# 13 - Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
What is Sustainability Development Goal# 13?
United Nations Sustainability Development Goal #13, titled “Climate Action,” represents a pivotal global effort to address the escalating threats posed by climate change. With a primary focus on mitigating carbon emissions and fostering resilience to climate-related hazards, this goal emphasizes the imperative for urgent and collective action from nations, communities, and industries worldwide. At its core, Goal #13 aims to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, with endeavors to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Central to achieving Goal #13 is the implementation of comprehensive climate policies, investments in renewable energy infrastructure, and the adoption of sustainable practices across sectors. By promoting sustainable land use, reducing emissions from industries and transportation, and enhancing climate resilience in vulnerable regions, nations can contribute significantly to curbing climate change impacts and safeguarding the planet’s ecosystems and biodiversity. Furthermore, Goal #13 underscores the critical need for international cooperation and partnerships to mobilize resources, share knowledge, and accelerate progress towards a sustainable and climate-resilient future for all. Through concerted efforts to address climate change, Goal #13 aims to pave the way for a more prosperous, equitable, and sustainable world for present and future generations.
